Well I know the stuff on woot was winery direct and the stuff on wine library was a distributor getting rid of stock. It is likely that WTSO was a distributor too given the business they are in. So yes, Ardente did sell at release, just not to consumers

Yes that was my point....too people, looks like the distributor's that got it at release could not or would not move it for whatever reasons.

WineSpies has an interesting offer today, a (supposedly) $75 Sempre Vive '02 Cab for $29.99, as usual, free shipping with 6. They don't/can't ship to NY, or I'd probably be unable to resist.

Just up on WTSO: Tallulah Wines Stagecoach Vineyard, Napa Valley Syrah 2009 @$19.99 each. This is a new vineyard for Mike Drash. Other syrahs I've had from Stagecoach vineyard have been delicious. Tallulah has been up on Wine.Woot before, as in Syrah from Bald Mountain and Les Troix Voix. So, I'm thinking this is probably pretty darn good.

I'm trying to not buy any wine, but I can't pass up Tallulah + Stagecoach. Restrained myself and only bought 2.

I'm hoping there is enough that it makes its way back to WTSO or Woot in the future after I've sampled it.

Thought about it 30 seconds too long. Put 4 in my cart, forgetting I hadn't signed in, by the time I signed in, it was gone.

If you like sweet dessert wines, up now on Invino (Premier access) is a 2001 Fattoria Lavacchio Vin Santo Riserva Chianti Rufina (500ml) for $17.99. I have not had this one but have other Vin Santos, which are not commonly found here. This one has 11 years in the bottle, so my expectations are high.

And they're always 100% truthful and accurate.
